Team also makes some bone-headed plays, and not sure if that's coaching or players who just don't handle decision making very well. Adonis Thomas throwing the ball in with 3 seconds to go; you have 3 timeouts. Anyone who has responsibility to inbounds the ball should know this. Second, don't throw into traffic given you have those timeouts. Memphis similarly gave up a lead in the last minute of their conference tourney championship game. All that said, I'm just glad they won a tournament game.

Believe it or not, coaches can call TOs when their teams possess the ball or during dead balls.
Pastner should have realized his team was panicking. Instead, he went full Haith.
